The best camping near Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park guide

Overview

About

The northernmost of California's redwood parks, the densely-forested Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park is home to seven percent of the world's old-growth redwoods, spread out over more than 5,500 acres. It's a popular spot for hiking and camping, and the park’s location on the Smith River makes it an ideal destination for fishing and summertime swimming. The park has four cabins and 89 campsites, each with a picnic table, a fire ring, and a bear box, and while there are no RV hookups here, some sites can accommodate motorhomes up to 36 feet in length.

Tips for snagging a campsite

Campsites are available on a first-come, first-served basis from October until early May and are available for reservation from May through September. Cabins are reservable year-round.
You can reserve campsites and cabins using the online ReserveCalifornia system, or by calling California State Parks.
Cabins and campsites go live at 8am, six months in advance.
Hike-in and bike-in campsites are also available on a first-come, first-served basis.
If you arrive at the campground to find it full or have trouble reserving a site, you may have better luck at Del Norte Coast Redwoods State Park or at one of the area's private campgrounds or Hipcamps.

When to go

The best time to visit the park is from July through September, when temperatures are at their warmest and rainfall is at its lowest. July and August tend to get more crowds due to summer vacation, while September tends to be the sweet spot if you're looking for warm weather and fewer crowds. Peak fishing season is from October to February, but if you come between late fall and the end of spring, be prepared for a lot of rain.

Know before you go

The nearest place to pick up groceries and supplies or fill up your gas tank is Crescent City, an 8-minute drive from the park.
Make sure to pack out all garbage and keep food, beverages, cookware, and toiletries in the provided bear-resistant lockers.
Firewood is available for sale from the camp hosts, but gathering firewood in the park is prohibited.
The visitor center, cabins, and many of the campsites and restrooms are wheelchair accessible.
While fishing is allowed in the Smith River, there are restrictions, and anyone over age 16 must carry a license. Details are available through the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.
